Simply can't say goodbye...





How am I going to leave my kids, especially my LITTLE MAN..?
He's kissing me every 5 minutes asking me to take him with me....
My heart is so heavy....Mitchell is a Mamma's boy...Devon and Trevor don't understand why we have to be gone for so long... I am devastated that I will miss their first day of school....

Once again, a simple reminder of how this whole International Adoption process is not for the faint of heart. Phew. I know you love your little man. Kiss him, sweetie. Kiss him GOOD!!!!

I may start cryin' myself. Sniff.

I know how you feel! My little man is home right now (he is 3)! We call him day and night through Yahoo Messenger. So far, he is doing good. I bought him a present for everyday we are gone and wrapped them in Superman paper. It gives him something to look forward to each day.Nothing big just Dollar Tree stuff! Mom has an outing planned for him everyday(playing with friends, swimming, movies)I think I am missing him more than he is missing me:(

Oh Rina-my heart is as heavy as yours. We will also miss the first day of school. Leaving the girls may end up being the hardest part of this whole process. At least we will have each other at some point in this journey once in China love Tracy

I know how hard it is....I travelled last June to Guangzhou to adopt Olivia Mei from Meizhou. I left 3 kiddos behind and I was just SO worried about it. I made a paper chain for the kids with each day written on it, so they could take off a link at the end of each day and then they would see when mama was going to get home. They also crossed off days on the calendar and we had a big happy face on mama's coming home day. It's hard, but everyone will make it and soon it will be just a memory. I can't wait to see your beautiful Myah in your arms. She is just precious!
hugs,
Angela

I have tears in my eyes just thinking of how you must feel leaving the boys. Just try to focus on how you're going to feel going home with Myah and introducing her to the boys....what a wonderful day that will be! I'll be thinking of you.
